Supergroups some times look better on paper than they do in the flesh. Some times they just don't equal the sum of the parts. Who ever thought to put together The Highwaymen was a freaking genius! Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, & Kris Kristofferson on one stage, in the same group, you know it had to be good, right? These four gentleman embodied the soul of Outlaw Country. If you like anyone of the Country Music Legends that are in this band you absolutely must have this show in your collection!

Outlaw Country at it's best, Waylon Jennings runs through a set of songs destined to be classics. It's strange to think that this music was on the fringes of what was acceptable in Country Music at the time. Icons like Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr. et.al. might as well have been Hippies in Nashville. Rinestone suits and nasal delivery were the norm. When the likes of Waylon & Willie stepped up with there blue jeans and common man presentation, the youth of America started catching on to Country Music. Now the top of Country Music channel Waylon, Hank Jr, Willie, and hefty doses of Graham Parsons, Little Feet, and the Eagles, while bands like Kentucky Headhunters play shows wearing Black Sabbath t-shirts.
